Also, divorcing the words from the body language would make it a less than accurate representation of what really happened in session.
For those of you who are attracted to this idea, I applaud you on your bravery. And if the motive is to 'catch' a T, I would say that's a good indication that it might be time to find another T you can trust better.

I know of some people who record in order to feel close to the t throughout the time between appointments, those who think they can hear new helpful things they could not absorb during the appointment and so forth. One can fastforward through one's self if one did not want to hear that part but only listen to the t. I think there are many reasons that are very valid. For me, it is not to "catch" the t, but to clarify what actually did happen and then be able to discuss it/clarify it without having the factual dispute added in, or be reassured that I simply mis-remembered or mis-heard. If yesterday is any indication, for me, I felt safer doing it.
